Chapter 505
Truth be told, Felix was not expecting her to ask him that at all.
He had liked her for a long time, and yet, hearing her ask him that question still made his heart race.
It looks like Ysabelle has become a grown-up for real, huh?
“Yes, I do. What about you, Ysabelle? Do you like me too?” he said.
“What the f*ck, Felix? I've always treated you like an older brother! I can't believe you've been trying to date me all
this while!”
Ysabelle realized she felt rather happy after receiving his confirmation about his feelings for her.
“I've always liked you, Ysabelle. You just never realized it.”
An older brother? Why would I want to be her older brother? I want to be her man!
“I see... All right, then!” Ysabelle was not all that surprised.
It was as though she had noticed his feelings toward her long ago.
Arching an eyebrow, Felix asked, “What do you mean by that? Shouldn't you give me a response? Do you like me or
not?”
How can she give me such an ambiguous reply?
“I know that you like me, but I need some time to consider if I should get together with you,” Ysabelle uttered.
The thought of them dating had never crossed her mind.
“Consider? What else do you need to consider? Do you not have any feelings for me?” Felix pressed on anxiously.
He had never felt so impatient in his long years of wait.
Yet, he suddenly felt eager to start dating her after his feelings for her were out in the open.
“I don't know, Felix! Stop pressuring me like this, okay?” Ysabelle said.
Felix hugged her even tighter as he declared, “Remember this, Ysabelle. I will always support you no matter what
you do, but I will never let someone else have you.”
That was the one thing he refused to compromise on.

Ysabelle kept staring blankly into space after returning to Wisteria Apartments.
It was very suspicious.
“What's the matter? Why are you spacing out like that?” Sophie asked as she handed her a drink.
“Sophie, say, do you think it would be strange if I start dating Felix?” Ysabelle inquired.
Sophie replied, “Why would it be strange? If you like him, then you should go for it. What others think about your
relationship does not matter.”
Is Ysabelle finally realizing her feelings for him?
“Okay. I got it,” came Ysabelle's response.
“Did he confess his love to you?” Sophie asked.
“Yeah, he did. Sophie, am I ridiculously dense? He has always treated me well, but I never realized it.”
“It's not too late to realize it now.” Ysabelle was still young, after all.
“Yeah, I think I really like him,” Ysabelle said as she finally understood her feelings for Felix.
“Then you two should start seeing each other romantically.” Sophie was the type of person who would stick to her
guns once she had confirmed her feelings toward someone or something.
“Yeah, I think I will. Still, is it really appropriate for a rookie singer like me to start dating right after making my
debut?”
“There's nothing inappropriate about that. Just focus on your career as a singer and let Xandra take care of the
rest.” Xandra had a lot of experience in dealing with such things.
“Okay!”
Meanwhile, Felix, too, was spacing out at his desk.
Annoyed, Tristan slammed the stack of documents onto Felix's desk.
“Hey, Felix! Snap out of it, will you? You won't get any work done if you keep tittering like that!” he rebuked.
“I told Ysabelle that I like her, Mr. Tristan. Do you think she'll accept me as her boyfriend?” Felix asked, voicing out
the one thing he was most concerned about.
Without waiting for the other man's reply, he continued, “What should I do if she doesn't accept me, Mr. Tristan? I'm
so much older than her, so—”
“That's enough, Felix.” Tristan believed there was no point in him worrying about it, not to mention that they were
still at work.
“I know we're at work, but I can't seem to calm down no matter what!” Felix exclaimed.
I can't believe I confessed to her on the spur of the moment! What if she doesn't want to date me? What will I do,
then? This is such a tricky situation.
Felix's behavior was peeving Charles too.
“Have a little more confidence in yourself, Felix! You're quite the big shot in Jipsdale, you know? Why are you getting
so worked up over this?” Charles uttered.
“That has nothing to do with this!” All Felix wanted to know was how Ysabelle felt about him.
“How does it not? You can easily find yourself another woman even if Ysabelle doesn't like you!”
Charles believed that all women were the same in bed.
Hence, he found it unnecessary for Felix to get so worried about Ysabelle's feelings toward him.
Felix decided to ignore him completely.
Although Charles had countless girlfriends in the past, he never truly loved any of them.
As a result, he did not know what it meant to love someone, let alone treasure them.
“You can worry about your relationship after you finish your work, Felix. Until then, snap out of it and stay focused!”
Sean reproached Felix, displeased with the latter's performance at the moment.
Felix is just wasting all of our time dilly-dallying!
Since Sean had spoken up, Felix had no choice but to get back to work.
“All right, all right. I'll be sure to get my work perfectly done, so don't you guys worry!” Fortunately for Felix, he was
capable of putting his personal feelings aside while working.
With that, the four of them went back to work at their desks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAn hour had passed by the time they were finished with work.
“Mr. Tristan, has Old Mr. Lombard found out about Sophie's existence?” Sean asked.
Knowing Old Mr. Lombard, there's no way he wouldn't pay Mr. Tristan a visit after finding out about him dating
Sophie!
“Yeah, he does. It's only a matter of time before he finds out anyway,” Tristan replied. As long as he was around, he
would not let anyone bully Sophie.
“You'll have to be careful, then. Old Mr. Lombard is definitely going to pay her a visit behind your back!” Sean
reminded him. I hope that dramatic scenes like those in soap operas won't happen!
“I'll try to talk to him about this.” Anyhow, Tristan had decided that he would only marry Sophie and no one else.
“That's good to hear!” Sean found Sophie to be a nice girl, so he did not wish to see her get hurt.
“Hey, Sean! Since when did you care so much about Sophie, huh? This is the first time I've seen you get so
concerned about someone! Is Sophie really that special?” Charles teased.
Sean did not feel like replying to that question at all.
“Well? Say something, Sean! I know Sophie isn't your type!” Most importantly, Sophie is Mr. Tristan's girlfriend!
“Charles, you need to keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything nice to say!” Me? Have feelings for Sophie?
You've got to be joking! With that in mind, Sean continued, “Admiration is all that I have toward Sophie, got it?”
He was telling the truth.
Felix nodded in agreement. “I think she's really impressive too.”
Sophie would do anything she set her mind to, never worrying too much about other things.
Her way of living her life freely was something that many envied.
“What, do you have a problem with my Sophie?” Tristan questioned. What is Charles trying to imply? His words
make me feel uncomfortable for some reason.
“No, not at all! You've definitely gotten the wrong idea, Mr. Tristan. I have nothing against Sophie!” Charles knew
Tristan would kill him if he said yes, so he quickly explained himself.
